Important request!
The Calami are NOT imported from China. We cut the writing tubes mostly in the south of France in the Roman Gallia Narbonensis. The reed is carefully dried by us and cut in the correct stage of drying, in Germany ready to write. The edges are cleaned and still as natural as possible, in form and surface. So every piece is made by hand.
